Prayer Times in Khorramshahr, Iran

Prayer times in Khorramshahr are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (30.44°N). We use the Tehran method, the one followed across Iran. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Khorramshahr's times use the Tehran method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iran. They are drawn from Khorramshahr's own coordinates (30.4408°N, 48.1843°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Khorramshahr's prayer times are worked out

From Khorramshahr, the Qibla is 222° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,304 km (811 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Khorramshahr's own coordinates (30.44°N, 48.18°E), not a national average. That is why Khorramshahr's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Khorramshahr timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Khorramshahr lies well west inside its Tehran time zone. So the sun peaks about 25 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:01 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 02m near June down to 11h 55m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Khorramshahr come from the Institute of Geophysics, Tehran. The Tehran method sets Fajr when the sun is 17.7° below the horizon, and Isha at 14°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Abadan, Abū al-Kahṣīb and Basrah. Each is only a few minutes off Khorramshahr's clock.

Iranian prayer times work differently

Iran follows Ja'fari (Twelver Shia) fiqh, and its prayer times are not simply a variant of the Sunni ones — the rules themselves differ. Asr does not wait for a shadow to reach one or two object-lengths. Its time begins after the interval needed to pray Dhuhr. In practice Dhuhr and Asr are prayed back to back. Maghrib differs too. Rather than beginning at sunset, it is delayed until the redness in the eastern sky has passed overhead. In practice that is implemented as the sun sitting roughly 4 to 4.5 degrees below the horizon. Maghrib and Isha are then typically combined. The practical result is that many Iranians pray in three sittings a day rather than five. The national reference is the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Tehran (Fajr 17.7°, Isha 14°), the method used on this page.

Mashhad, Isfahan and the shrines

The Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad is the spiritual centre of Iranian Shia life. Its complex covers about 1.2 million square metres. That makes it the largest mosque in the world by area, after the sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina. It draws roughly 30 million pilgrims a year, the most visited pilgrimage site in Islam after the Hajj. Within the same complex stands the Goharshad Mosque, commissioned by the Timurid empress Goharshad and completed around 1430. In Isfahan, the Shah (Imam) Mosque on Naqsh-e Jahan Square was begun in 1611. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and among the finest works of Safavid architecture.
